[ARC5] AN-Ranges - engines.

[Peter Gottlieb]

They had that at Dayton last year.

I still am hugely skeptical about the 60 RPM generator.  It would have to be 
huge to get enough change in field at the poles, and making an engine that did 
that, including a humongous flywheel with enough stored energy for all the poles 
in between combustion pulses would make it pretty impractical.
